ok st, help me with this (baseball league stuff) - tRuMaN Mar 3, 07:33 11
- Rules clarification, this is the Willy Nelson league. 10% price increase, rounded up, or $2, whichever is greater. Max of 7 keepers. - Subversive Mar 3, 07:44
- Pujols, Greinke, and Ellsbury are the three slam dunks. It's all opinion after that. -- nm - David Mar 3, 07:40
- Greinke, Ellsbury, ... and I'd strongly consider Pujols at $48. - TFox Mar 3, 07:37
- [deleted] 2
  - Holliday at $38-39? No way. -- nm - TFox Mar 3, 07:38 1
    - [deleted]
- Keeps : Hoffman, Grienke, DeRosa, Cantu, Doumit. - groiny Mar 3, 07:36 1
  - his price the last few years has been $40 to 46 i think. - tRuMaN Mar 3, 07:37
- rules corrections. - tRuMaN Mar 3, 07:36
- Greinke is a no-doubt. ...... maybe Holliday but that's a step price....Hoffman... - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:35 1
  - yeah, I seem to suck at fantasy drafting. - tRuMaN Mar 3, 07:36
First Westboro sign spotted (by a friend): God Hates Lady Gaga -- nm - MDH Mar 3, 07:31 3

  - The director's name is Nimrod? -- nm - MDH Mar 3, 07:34
In good news, the Santiago airport appears to be operating commercial flights again, on a limited basis at least. - ty97 Mar 3, 07:23
Happy Birthday znufrii! -- nm - MDH Mar 3, 07:18 12

Who are our ST's fantasy baseball experts? How is my team? - Strongbad Mar 3, 07:15 32
- I think you're in good shape. Benches that thin, people will get impatient with pitchers with bad Aprils and start making foolish drops. - TFox Mar 3, 07:35
- [deleted]
- can you send me a list of available pitchers left in the draft? nm -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 07:18 15
  - here - Strongbad Mar 3, 07:21 14
    - I'd drop your worst SP and pick up Pettitte. - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:24 3
      - I would not drop Floyd. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 07:25 2
        
        You got faith in him? - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:26 1
        
        a 40 year old SP is not a gamble worth taking. - groiny Mar 3, 07:33
    - ugh....... - groiny Mar 3, 07:22 9
      - Here's some more, I gave you the top ones based on Owned % - Strongbad Mar 3, 07:30 8
        
        Clearly this isn't a keeper league. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:32
        
        I would probably gamble on Chapman at this point.... -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 07:31 6
        
        He's already got Strasburg ...I don't think Chapman is nearly as close to ready as Stras is. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:32 5
        
        with his staff, he needs to gamble a bit now. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 07:33 4
        
        Gamble smarter than a guy the Reds likely won't have in the majors this year. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:36
        
        Drop Floyd? - Strongbad Mar 3, 07:36 2
        
        I suppose, but I think Floyd is the least of your concerns. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 07:38
        
        Drop Frenchy. That's a a free roster spot then -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:37
- Your starting pitching is unimpressive imo - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:17 12
  - Hamels will be fine. - groiny Mar 3, 07:21 6
    - He'll be fine in the way that makes Dr. James Andrews a lot of money. -- nm - David Mar 3, 07:33
    - I worry about Hamels after his injury prone year last year - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:26 4
      - Hamels overall numbers from last year were not that bad. - groiny Mar 3, 07:27 3
        
        His ERA jumped a run + ... whip jumped 2/10ths and K's dropped by 30. - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:28 2
        
        well, he did pitch 20 something less innings..... - groiny Mar 3, 07:32 1
        
        Becuase his arm was hurting. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:32
  - I won't win, I just don't want to embarrass myself. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 3, 07:19 4
    - right now, you are probably looking at the minimum points for pitching categories. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 07:19
    - That's the spirit! -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:19 2
      - It's baseball... meh. - Strongbad Mar 3, 07:26 1
        
        It's not hard to pick Tiger and Jimmie, dude. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:27
- your pitching is a bit weak for a 10 team league. -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 07:16

  - Ours is May 14-15 - Strongbad Mar 3, 07:16
  - (That sounds awesome about the luminaries, though.) - JaxSean Mar 3, 07:14

Kelly I hate to do this to you, but I'm conscripting Will for this.... -- (link) - Remlik Mar 3, 07:02 10
- What's your strategy? 2 meat toppings obviously, but pepperoni and bacon? (meatballs and sausage being heavier) -- nm - Roger More Mar 3, 07:13 4
  - Ham and pepperoni. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:19 2
    - which meat is easier to sit in the stomach? -- nm - Remlik Mar 3, 07:34 1
      - Beats me..... -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:40
  - [deleted]
- Mmmmmm...Pointers. The best bar-be-que chicken pizza anywhere. -- nm - Jim Mar 3, 07:10
- uh. "You must keep the pizza down for the entire hour." -- nm - decline Mar 3, 07:06
- HAHAHA! Joey Chestnut finished it off. - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:04
- [deleted] 1
  - with Will as the Ringer I can't lose! -- nm - Remlik Mar 3, 07:04
[deleted] 27
- That's all well and good...but seriously...are there any Academy voters that would really change their vote because the producer of one of the films - Jim Mar 3, 07:09 9
  - Flip side: There are people who will change their vote from Hurt Locker to something else due to this, I'm certain. -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 07:14 2
    - Wow...you're pretty smart. nm - Jim Mar 3, 07:16 1
      - I knew there was a reason I didn't read your posts. - ty97 Mar 3, 07:18
  - Sure...how do you think the Weinsteins became major players? - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:11 5
    - Buying them is one thing...whether with actual cash or anything else. - Jim Mar 3, 07:13 4
      - if i were the other producers (and esp kathryn bigelow) i would be SO pissed. - Andie Mar 3, 07:19 2
        
        Cameron's said his perfect world is she wins director and his team wins Picture - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:21
        
        Not for picture, but he has (at least publicly) said she should win director. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 3, 07:19
      - I think they're more concerned with the PR aspect of his plea and then they win and the implication it might have had something to do with it - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:15
- I am so over the hate for The Hurt Locker. - MDH Mar 3, 07:04 7
  - I haven't seen much hate yet. Though if it wins, there will be an inevitable backlash to some degree like there is with every winner. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 3, 07:06
  - What hate? - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:06 5
    - Some stuff I've seen about how they should remove it from awards contention - MDH Mar 3, 07:07 1
      - Well...if they broke the rules; there should be penalties. - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:09
    - [deleted] 2
      - I stand by my stance that Titanic, if it had finished around 350mil; would be hailed as one of the strongest movies in many years - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:08 1
        
        [deleted]
- yeah, i heard if it wins best picture, the producer can't pick up the trophy because of it. - Andie Mar 3, 07:01 7
  - [deleted]
  - He will get the award, just not at the actual ceremony. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 3, 07:04
  - I think, IIRC, the topic being discussed on NPR Talk of the Nation yesterday, it was the text of his e-mails as much as the fact that he - HdnAgnda Mar 3, 07:03 3
    - okay, i hadn't heard he was disparaging others. -- nm - Andie Mar 3, 07:03 2
      - Yes. Text of the mail included something to the effect of (paraphrasing) Vote for Hurt Locker instead of the $500M dollar movie. - HdnAgnda Mar 3, 07:06
      - Yeah, he was calling on people to help his small movie out becuase it wasn't the 550mil grosser. - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:05
  - I think it was that he disparaged another nominee more than just sending the email. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:02
- I hope the guy suing gets laughed out of court. Read about it earlier today. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 3, 06:57
I need 3 other examples something that would qualify as "a piece of infamous pop culture memorabilia" to go along w/ OJ's acquital suit - prayformojo Mar 3, 06:52 19
- thx guys, some good ones here -- nm - prayformojo Mar 3, 07:09

  - Not a real one, but Hitler's Diaries -- nm - Roger More Mar 3, 07:19

- That kinda sucks that the cruise ship are being that type of asses - Will Hunting Mar 3, 06:58 3
  - They're offering them seats back to Argentina if they wish to purchase them - Strongbad Mar 3, 07:04 2
    - Yeah, I think that's kinda crap. The boat's going back to Argentina, take the people with you, otherwise, it's dumping them in a huge natural disaste - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:07 1
      - I agree, but that's why travel insurance is usually a good idea. -- nm - Roger More Mar 3, 07:09
- Wow. Hope they have a smooth stay until Friday -- nm - amoxy Mar 3, 06:57

      - They've travelled just about everywhere. - Strongbad Mar 3, 06:55

        I don't know, it's gotta be one of the bigger old-people friendly ones. Norwegian, Princess, etc. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 3, 06:55
